Title I Supplemental Grants

Overview

The purpose of the Title I Supplemental Grants, authorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001(NCLB), Title I, Part A, Section 1003(a), is to provide public school districts with additional funds and resources to help them develop and improve efforts to support their eligible Title I schools. Implicit in these grants is the recognition that all Wisconsin districts have existing resources and programs that support the student achievement of its neediest school(s). These grants are intended to supplement existing district efforts and strengthen district support. The grant application is structured around two goals: 1) addressing the needs of the eligible Title I schools based on adequate yearly progress (AYP) indicators and local data, and 2) providing district support for these schools.

Eligibility

Eligible applicants are public school districts identified for corrective action with Title I schools that have been identified for improvement (SIFI).

DPI will contact eligible districts after AYP results are confirmed.

Amount of Funds Available

DPI reserves four percent of the amount of funds received by the State of Wisconsin under Title I, Part A.

Applications Due Date

Applications are due August 5, 2011.
